Inclinometry Output Format
Inclinometry Output Format
In March 1999 the inclinometry data acquisition system was expanded
to read in not just the 3 channels (X,Y,T) from each of the three
original inclinometers (T, L and R), but also
the 3 channels from the Spare inclinometer, located at that time
on one of the radial arms, plus data from two strain gauges (G1, G2),
measuring
loads on the track at (true) azimuth ~56 degrees, or
under the middle of track segment #6.
This gives 14 output channels, explicitly :
Ch # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
aka 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E
TX TY TT LX LY LT RX RY RT SX SY ST G1 G2
Unfortunately, there are an extraordinary number of additional spaces
tagged onto the end of the data lines that make offline
editing necessary before processing can begin. Do this :
           
sed -e 's/..........//g' incfilename.dat > outputfilename.dat
(where the 10 ...'s are really 10 spaces).
(And delete the last line of data (phoney - taken at a 'park position
of az=177.77)).
The incred software on the summit VAX, and the partial mirror
in my Hilo unix account (/home/imc/pointing/progs) is then compatible with
this data file structure.
